LEVELING
Check the leveling of the range. Place a carpenter’s level inside the oven cavity across the oven rack(s).
Level front-to-back and side-to-side.
To adjust the leveling, tilt the range to one side and, using channel locks, unscrew the adjustable leg
insert as required. Repeat this procedure as necessary for each leg.
Casters for this range are of the non-adjustable type. Therefore, the floor must be level. If floor surface
is not level, the range will experience cooking problems.
GAS CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant
to the action of propane gases.
Each range is factory-equipped for the type gas specified on the rating plate. The installation gas
connection is a
3
/
4
" (19 mm) 14 FPT ANSI schedule #40 standard pipe.
Connect gas supply. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions.
Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the range.
Standard ranges are equipped with fixed burner orifices which coincide with installation elevation.
Install the gas pressure regulator.
Before installing, ensure that regulator supplied agrees with rating plate gas supply.
As of 7/11/90, the gas pressure regulator is
NOT
factory installed. The regulator for this gas type is
sealed within a plastic bag attached to the oven rack inside the oven cavity. This regulator must be field
installed by a qualified installer.
Natural gas regulators are preset for 4" W.C. (Water Column) (.99 kPa); propane gas regulators for
10.0" W.C. (2.5 kPa)
1. Locate
3
/
4
" (19 mm) gas connection pipe extending from rear of range.
2. Cover pipe threads with leak sealant.
3. Screw regulator hand-tight onto pipe with regulator arrow pointing towards range body back (Fig. 15).
4. Using pipe wrench, tighten regulator securely in an upright position (Fig. 15).
The arrow on the regulator shows the direction of the gas flow (Fig. 15). The pressure regulator must
be mounted horizontally to ensure proper preset outlet pressure. If the regulator is installed in any other
position, the outlet pressure must be reset for proper operation.
A leak limiter is supplied with every regulator to allow excess gas pressure to escape. Do not obstruct
leak limiter on gas pressure regulator, as obstruction may cause regulator to malfunction.
